Giving Day 2019

Thanks to the incredible spirit and generosity of the Colby community, we have surpassed 3,000 Giving Day donors, raising more than $1 million to support Colby students! Let's use this amazing success as an opportunity to push even further and make this the best Giving Day ever!
Inspired by the momentum of the Dare Northward campaign, a generous donor will match every gift with $200 today only, ending at midnight Pacific/3 a.m Eastern.
*One match per person. Match dollars will go to the designation chosen by the donor who made the incentive possible. Incentive available up to $125,000.
Make your gift. Challenge your friends. Spread the word through social media.
Colby's Giving Day features a special Friends of Athletics promotion. Make a gift to your favorite Friends group here.
If you have any questions, we're happy to help. Please contact the Colby Fund office at 1-800-311-3678 or colbyfund@colby.edu.
Let’s dare northward, together.
A gift to Giving Day counts as a gift to the Dare Northward campaign.
